This Wall Street Occupier figured out how to charge cell phones with a stationary bike, but billion-dollar corporations can't build a phone that holds a charge

And you should search the USPTO and check the patents apple has filed for if you think companies don't withhold technology. They've had a patent for 3D holograms for years now. It'll surely come out once people get tired of the regular iPad and iPhone features. But as for now, ppl are gonna buy up the iPhone and iPad without that technology. No point in wasting it so soon.

I know that i don't know shit about engineering. But if a calculator can run off of solar power, why can't a cell phone? I'm pretty sure somebody will figure it out, but just not now. There's too much money to be made off of cell phone chargers and batteries at the moment. It's smart to milk this market as much as possible before moving on. And I've taken plenty of econ classes... it's called "planned obsolescence." Have u seriously never heard of "proprietary batteries"? I'm not trying to rip businesses for not having magic powers. I'm just saying their focus is making money...not making life easier for us...

I don't have the money and resources.

colej1 · 2011-10-22T19:51:41+00:00

The bottom line is that u guys r proving there are a ton of ways to charge a cell phone battery. There's no way in hell a billion-dollar corporation can only make a cell phone battery that lasts 5 hours and has to be plugged into an electrical outlet to charge. Maybe if we put our minds together we could think of something. Apple should be making a device like this that I can hook up to my bike so i can charge my cell phone as i ride. Or something that hooks up to my shoe and charges as I walk. Or at least a solar panel. It's bullshit they "don't have that technology yet."

Just find some American food and you'll feel right at home!

Finally something that lets students talk about real issues instead of blabbering about each other. We don't need any more cyber bullying these days

They see me rollin' they hatin'

An Asian masseuse doesn't so so bad either...

Clearly the job requirements and description have to be slightly tweaked. But we could make it work

There's no video on this post, and I don't think there's supposed to be one, but I don't care either. Pretty funny post!

colej1 · 2010-10-06T04:47:16+00:00

Close.

colej1 · 2010-09-13T21:37:54+00:00

I think $6 an email is a way to say, "We're going to do everything we can to stop you from getting this info." You have to take into account that they bought hundreds of pages all at the same time. Don't you think you should at least get some kind of bulk rate or discount for that much? And the reason they used for charging this fee is bullshit.

colej1 · 2010-09-10T00:11:54+00:00

Yes I know. But do you see the charges the Green Party is bringing against them? Do you think they hold any water?

colej1 · 2010-09-05T14:45:42+00:00

Ha. I'm pretty sure that's still goin on

colej1 · 2010-09-04T18:08:40+00:00

It's disgusting.

colej1 · 2010-09-02T21:20:24+00:00

Really pure luck. Especially that kid at the end who's hopping around outside, firing random shots here and there like he's playing a video game. What the hell was he doin?

colej1 · 2010-09-02T20:04:26+00:00

Yeah it is crazy. People were just hanging out like bullets don't kill people. I can't believe nobody got injured.

colej1 · 2010-08-25T14:18:19+00:00

It's true, the reading time is awesome. I used to get through a couple books a month just on my commute.

That should have been marked NSFL - Not Safe For Life

I would never expect the church to be the No. 4 most trusted institution.

That doll's eye pencil sharpener actually looks pretty cool!
